Eagles' Carson Wentz to start vs. Colts in Week 3

The Indianapolis Colts (1-1) are enjoying their first win of the season, but their Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) just got tougher because Carson Wentz has been named the starter.

After tearing an ACL and LCL in December, Wentz has been working his way back throughout the offseason, preseason and first two weeks of the regular season.

Wentz had a breakout season under Frank Reich, who was the offensive coordinator of the Eagles. In 13 starts, Wentz completed 60.2 percent of his passes for 3,296 yards, 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

The Colts are fresh off of their first win of the season against the Washington Redskins, a game in which the defense didn’t allow a touchdown.
